And I think the training you are giving her will go a long way in making her less shy. I have a shy dog and she has never really got over it but she is better than when I first got her as a pup. She is one of the best dogs I have ever had but I do worry sometimes that her fearfulness will someday cause a problem with aggression. Nikki is lucky to have you. It seems you are taking good care of her. Border collies are such good dogs.
